Prefatory:

Musiri and Thathaiyangarpettai unions are situated in Musiri Taluk and Thuraiyur and Uppiliyapuram unions are situated in Thuraiyur Taluk of Tiruchy District. The main occupations of the people in these areas are Agriculture.The annual rain fall of this District is 824mm of which maximum contribution from North East monsoon rain fall. The average summer and winter water level of this District is 12m to 18m and 5m to 8m respectively. In general the quality of Ground water available in this area is potable. The rain recharging factor to the Ground water is seasonal rainfall and river system.

Existing Water Supply Arrangements:

Bore wells fitted with Hand pumps and power pumps with bore wells as source are catering the drinking water need of the people in these habitations covered in this proposals.

Necessity for Providing Combined Water Supply Scheme:

These areas do not have sustainable Ground Water Potential. The water available from the existing power pump and Hand pump schemes in these rural areas are not sufficient to meet the requirement. Due to frequent failure of monsoon, the yield from the bore wells is reduced. The power pump and Hand Pump water supply schemes are giving low yield in most of the habitations in these areas.

Based on the request of the people, an Announcement was made by the Honorable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu during the District Collectors' and Police officers' Conference on 13.12.2013 (Announcement No.191), that investigation will be taken up for providing a combined water supply scheme to 293 rural habitations in Musiri union, Thathaiyangarpettai union, Thuraiyur union and Uppiliyapuram union in Tiruchirappalli District.
